- Implemented and tested code to create the xen kdump p2m table
from
the mfn value found in the "pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list"
member
contained within the shared per-domain "arch_shared_info"
structure,
which is contained within the architecture-neutral "shared_info"
structure. However, the use of this capability will
require that:
(1) the xen kdump implementation pass
this mfn value in the vmcore
ELF header,
and
(2) the crash utility will need additional
updating to access this
value from the
vmcore ELF header.
The current test version of the xen kdump code passes the
dom0 cr3
value in the ELF header, but that only works for xen kernels
with
writable pagetables. Using the pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list
mfn will
work for both writable- and shared-pagetable xen kernels.

- Support for kernels with no vmalloc addresses, i.e., with an
empty
"vmlist", fixing an initialization-time session failure
indicating:
"crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 0 type: first
vmlist addr"
(moriwaka@valinux.co.jp)
- Fix that allows the "wr" command to accept a 64-bit value.
(castor.fu@3pardata.com)
- Fix for "vtop" on user/kernel virtual addresses that showed the
page
offset value on the "PAGE:" output line on x86 PAE kernels.

- Added "rd -x" option to avoid the display of the ASCII translation
at
the end of each line. (anderson@redhat.com)
- Fix for unnecessary double-printing of the "mount" command header
when a directory argument is referenced by two different
vfsmounts.
(harihare@vnet.ibm.com) and (shenlinf@cn.ibm.com)
- Fix to recognize equivalent directory arguments to the "mount"
command, i.e., "/boot" is the same as "/boot/".
(shenlinf@cn.ibm.com)
- Fix for "swap" command that dropped "/dev" from swap device pathnames
in 2.6 kernels. (shenlinf@cn.ibm.com)
- Fix for potential segmentation violation when running "bt -f"
command
on s390 and s390x. (holzheu@de.ibm.com)
- Added a "rd -m " option to read xen machine addresses if they
are
accessible; also a general cleanup of the m2p functionality.
